Wishing all those celebrating, a very happy Diwali! Known as the festival of lights, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.
On behalf of everyone here at Bakhtar and our partner Oakgrove; we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who came down to our BBQ event!
The sun was shinning and we had a fantastic few hours catching up with some familiar faces.

Rapid Antigen Tests (RATs) are now available at Bakhtar Community Organisation offices in the City of Casey and Greater Dandenong. It is free of charge for vulnerable community members who are close contact, have symptoms, or have been instructed to test by a health authority.
I am excited and proud to announce that BCO became an accredited Work & Development Permit (WDP) sponsor.
The WDP Scheme is a Victorian government initiative that allows vulnerable people to ‘work off’ their fine debt instead of paying money out of their pocket.
